Behind-the Scenes Tour of BMW in Munich and Breath-taking drive on
Autobahn included in Fantasy Package

WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ - October 3, 2006: Christmas is coming early this
year, as BMW and Neiman Marcus partner to create the ultimate driving
fantasy. BMW is offering, exclusively through the legendary Neiman Marcus
Christmas Book, the 2007 Limited Edition Individual M6 Convertible. The
luxury convertible comes with a custom Ruby Black exterior finish accented
with an interior with Piano Black trim elements, power sports seats wrapped
in our custom Gold Brown shade of supple BMW Individual Merino leather, and
M-radial spoke alloy wheel. The car also comes fully equipped with an
incredible 11-speaker Surround Sound stereo and six-disc CD changer. Only
50 of these custom-made automobiles, including the once-in-a-lifetime
driving experience, will be available for purchase in this year's Christmas
Book for $139,000.

As if the car itself wasn't enough, BMW is offering these fortunate
fifty Neiman Marcus customers the pinnacle of the "ultimate driving
experience." Each gift opportunity features an exclusive European adventure
in which the purchaser takes delivery of their new M6 Convertible directly
from the factory and drives on to tour the Bavarian countryside. And for
the serious BMW-enthusiast, each customer will have the opportunity to meet
with the automaker's famous car designers, and be given a private tour of
the BMW factory in Munich. Also included in the package are two round-trip
business class tickets on Lufthansa® to Munich, Germany, gourmet meals, and
luxurious accommodations for four nights. Upon completion of the trip,
their new vehicle will be shipped back to the States for immediate
delivery. The trip is scheduled for Spring 2007.

Bold and uncompromising, the BMW Individual M6 Convertible stands alone.
The unmistakable roar of its 5.0-liter, V-10 engine delivering 500
horsepower at your command and the precision handling, M Variable
Differential Lock, and Electronic Damping Control make every trip
extraordinary. Its on-board computer, GPS navigation, and Voice Command
System merge driver and auto into one intelligent entity. At the heart of
this incredible machine is a Formula 1 inspired, V-10 engine with 10
individual throttle butterflies capable of revving up to 8,250 rpm thanks
to its sophisticated design and knock control systems. Coupled to a
seven-speed Sequential Manual Transmission with Drivelogic®, it can launch
you from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.5 exhilarating seconds.

A photo and description of the Limited Edition M6 Convertible appears on
page 97 of the 2006 Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. The opportunity to learn
more and order this magnificent machine and experience begins at 12 noon
EDT on Wednesday, October 18th when you call 1-866-303-2696. Interested

gift?
